Tsukioka Yoshitoshi

Owari-ya Restaurant at the Kanasugi Bank, from the series: Beautiful Women and Fancy Dishes in Tōkyō. The title is given a wide range of translations, depending on how discreet - the translator wishes to be; in the original Japanese it seems to have a number of potential double meanings which are difficult to capture in English. ryōri means 'food', 'dish', 'management' etc.; sukoburu means 'extremely', and beppin is a somewhat vulgar word meaning 'beautiful woman'. So one plausible translation is 'beautiful women and fancy dishes of Tōkyō'.

The title of each individual print is in the cartouche to the left of the series title cartouche; the location is given at the top, and the establishment at the bottom.

The prints in this series are collaborations between Yoshitoshi and various of his students, including:

  • Toshihide
  • Toshikage
  • Toshimaro
  • Toshinobu
  • Toshitsugu
  • Toshikazu
